Nitrous Oxide For Dental Sedation
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we want your visit to be a pleasant one. For many patients, dental fears or anxieties keep them from visiting the dentist regularly. Sedation dentistry helps patients undergo dental work and keep their mouths healthy without anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide in our Pineville, NC dental office.
Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is used to create a calm, relaxed experience. In dentistry, it is often used to help patients who feel anxious or have trouble sitting still. It takes effect immediately and the patient remains awake throughout the treatment.
Uses Of Nitrous Sedation In Dentistry
Laughing gas can be used with patients of all ages to ensure a better dental experience. At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, nitrous sedation may be recommended for the following reasons:
- Easing dental fears – Dental anxieties are common and can keep people from visiting the dentist. To ensure you have a good experience, dental sedation can take the edge off your anxiety. The medication can help you stay calm, yet awake, so you do not notice pain or fear during your treatment.
- Helping young children sit still – Young children often have trouble staying still for dental appointments. When necessary for treatments such as dental fillings, nitrous oxide can help relax children and ease fidgeting.
- Treating patients who need significant work – Even adults have trouble sitting for long periods of time. When a treatment or procedure may take a significant period of time, laughing gas may be recommended to minimize excess movement
Safe Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is a very safe option for sedation dentistry. The patient’s medical history is thoroughly reviewed to ensure there are no allergies or diseases that could cause adverse reactions. If used, the medication is closely monitored and controlled by the dental team throughout the procedure.
Nitrous oxide takes effect immediately. It does not cause drowsiness so the patient remains awake and can communicate with the dentist. The patient breathes in a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask.
Once the treatment is over, the medication is stopped and the effects cease immediately without any lasting effects. As the medication is turned off, the patient breathes in only oxygen to clear the lungs. Since there are no side effects or lingering reactions, patients can drive themselves home and resume normal activities after the appointment.

Dandy experience
I took my 17 year old to her first appointment and because of Covid I stayed in the car. So I asked my daughter if you had to describe your experience at this new dentist what would you say ? So she said young ,fresh, vivacious, modern and fun. I said wow it’s just a dentist ! She said yes mom but they were very nice and talked to me like a real person not like a kid . So we are giving them a 5 star and I found them very nice and professional on the phone , got us in quickly and I think we have found a great new dentist !!! Thank you Amy Sisung
Radiant Smiles treated me like Family. They have a Very Friendly staff. Ask for Tonia. They have the Best prices as well. I am Happy I chose them.
They're friendly, kind and respectful and just a wonderful team working together to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Thank you Salisbury Family Dentistry!!❤
My husband and I have been on the hunt to find a family dentist since moving to Charlotte. Radiant Smiles was the last stop on that search. The team was absolutely amazing. They were friendly even after all the questions I asked of them. At other offices I’ve felt rushed during my exam but Dash (dental hygienist) was very thorough and gave me tips about flossing (because let’s be real —it’s a task). Even down to dentist himself—Dr. Deseamu was very knowledgeable and took the time out to ask me if I personally had any concerns about the health of my teeth. If you’re looking for a dentist office to live up to the “family dentistry” name look no further. Radiant Smiles is your new home!
